Remembering The Fallen

From the blog of Charles Crawford on the Canadian reaction:
"Imagine what would happen if after such murders all service personnel were ordered to wear their uniforms in public as a mark of pride and respect for their fallen comrades. Yes, it would be ‘risky’. Some might even die in further Islamist murder outrages. As might civilians.

But if soldiers are not ready to take that risk, they should not be soldiers. And civilians unwilling to champion their armed forces and to take on any risks from doing so do not deserve those soldiers’ protection.

The first and last place to stand tall for one’s national values of freedom and civilisation is right out there in public, on one’s own streets."
